Netflix has shared the new trailer for Malevolent, which will be making its premiere on the streaming service on October 5th. Directed by Olaf de Fleur Johannesson, the movie finds a brother and sister team of con artists over their heads when they're invited to an orphanage that's actually haunted:
"Brother and sister team Angela (Florence Pugh) and Jackson (Ben Lloyd-Hughes) are nothing more than scam artists. Preying on the grief stricken and the vulnerable, they convince the bereaved that Angela has the ability to contact the dead. It's a simple con, until Mrs. Green (Celia Imrie) summons the pair to her home -- the orphanage that was once stage to a string of murders of young girls -- and Angela grows less and less certain of what's actually real. The fake paranormal investigators suffer the ultimate reality check when they are confronted by the true horrors and terrifying past that lie hidden within the haunted orphanage."
